I'm wondering if it's okay to take my blood pressure while I'm lying down or if I should always be in a sitting position. Does the blood pressure reading change when I'm lying down compared to when I'm sitting?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is generally recommended to measure blood pressure while sitting, as this is the standard position for accurate readings. However, in some cases, it may be necessary to measure blood pressure while lying down, especially for patients who have difficulty sitting or standing. Blood pressure readings can vary depending on body position, with readings typically lower when lying down compared to sitting or standing.

View allI'm a bit worried after being diagnosed with sinus tachycardia and an incomplete right bundle branch block. The doctor mentioned I should start taking trimetazidine. I'm not sure if it's really necessary or if there might be other options. Could you help me understand if I should go ahead with it?
Sinus tachycardia and Incomplete right bundle branch block are both cardiac conditions that may require treatment to manage symptoms and prevent complications. Trimetazidine is not typically used to treat these conditions. For sinus tachycardia, beta-blockers like Metoprolol can be prescribed to help slow down the heart rate. For Incomplete right bundle branch block, treatment may not be necessary unless there are symptoms or other heart conditions present. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations and discuss any concerns or questions you have about your treatment plan.

I'm a 31-year-old guy and have been experiencing chest pain since September 2017. All my tests like ECG, echocardiography, lipid profile, TMT, and CT coronary angiogram have come back normal. I also get pain in my hand and jaw, along with dizziness every day. My cardiologists told me it's anxiety disorder, but I'm still worried because the pain is persistent. The doctor has prescribed flavedon MR 35 to take twice a day and said to continue for a month. Should I expect to stop the medication after one month if the symptoms persist, or is this something I might need long-term? I'm just trying to figure out if this plan seems right given my symptoms.
Yes you can use it no problem and as your doctor said you might be having Anxiety disorder,visit Psychiatrist for appropriate management

I'm experiencing these needle-like pains on the left side of my chest for just a split second. There's no sweating or weakness accompanying it. I've also noticed that when I take EVION LC or any vitamin E supplement, my vision gets a bit blurry. Is this something I should be concerned about?
The needle pain in your left side of the chest for a few seconds could be due to muscle spasms or nerve irritation. It is reassuring that you are not experiencing sweating or weakness along with it. However, the blurred vision you experience after taking EVION LC or any vitamin E supplement is concerning and should be addressed. I recommend stopping the use of EVION LC or any vitamin E supplement and consulting with your healthcare provider. They may suggest an alternative supplement or investigate further to determine the cause of your symptoms
